Does anyone out there have information on the WIKEL family? Were was the
husband in 1880 as he is not listed with his family.
I have
Harriett born Oh 1842 in OHIO
Ida born 1869 IN
Ollie born 1874 IN
Nannie born 1876 IN
Frankie born 1879 IN
Seeking help in locating a James Thompson (born about 1770 in Ireland) in
Jackson Co., Hamilton Dist., IN., between 1830 and 1840. He is on the 1830
census but cannot find a record of him after this date. Did he move, die or
just not get included on the 1840 census? His wife Margaret (McKee) Thompson
does not show up as head of the household in 1840, so may have been living
with one of her children or remarried in the event of James dying.
James and Margaret Thompson's children that were still living in Jackson Co.,
in 1840 were: Thomas Jefferson, Mathew, George Washington, Elizabeth, Isaac,
Andrew and Martha Jane Thompson. Son, Joseph Thompson had moved to Johnson
Co., IN.
Any information or help on this family is most appreciated.

History of Jackson County Indiana -- Brant & Fuller 1886
JACOB BROWN, farmer, is a native of Harrison County, Indiana, being born on
the 15th of October, 1813, in the town of Laconia. His father, of the same
name, was born in North Carolina, and his mother, nee Margaret Lux, was a
native of Kentucky. Most of his education he received after he grew up to
manhood. He was an industrious toiler upon the farm until he was nineteen
years of age, when he engaged in flat-boating to New Orleans, making fifteen
trips in as many years. After the first two trips he had to walk from home
from Louisville. For may years now he has been a successful farmer, and he is
one of the oldest native residents of the county. Jackson County has always
been his home. Ever since 1838 he has been identified with the Christian
Church, as have also his family since they have respectively arrived at the
age of responsibility. In politics he is a Democrat, having cast his first
vote for Gen. Jackson. September 7, 1837, is the date of Mr. Brown's marriage
to Lydia M. Day, a native of Hamilton County, Ohio, and to them three
children have been born: Eliza J., Elias D., and George R. -- all living near
him.
